I agree here. I think it would be better i you can find someone to borrow a sewing machine from. After all, even a light weight sewing machine weighs 10 pounds or more. I'm sure your mom's friends or neighbors wouldn't mind leanding you a sewing machine, seeing that they know why you are going over there.
